Tech Data has unveiled a Google Chrome-dedicated microsite (see google.techdata.co.uk), designed to provide information and sales support for resellers on the wide extensive range of Chrome products that are available from the company. With a dedicated Google team in place, Tech Data is able to provide training and business development support to resellers on the wide selection of Chromebook (mobile), Chromebox (desktop) and Chromebase (all-in-one) devices, it offers as well as Chrome Management Console (CMC) and the Chromebox for Meetings video-conferencing tool.
The Chrome microsite features a device finder that allows partners to access live stock and pricing information and provide an instant quote for customers. A news section helps partners keep up to date with the latest developments and success stories. Resellers can also register to become a Google Partner on the site. It also provides details of additional configuration services available from Tech Data, which include pre-shipment device set-up, domain provisioning, asset tagging and CMC policy configuration.
Matt Beresford, Google Business Development Manager at Tech Data, states: “We have been working with Google for some time to create the microsite and integrate it into our InTouch e-commerce system. It’s designed to highlight the benefits of Chrome products and help resellers to identify the best options for customers. We’ve seen growing interest in Chrome over the past few months, particularly from the education sector. With the summer holiday break approaching, many schools will be looking at mobile devices for use in the classroom, while parents will be on the hunt for something that is practical and affordable for the kids to use at home, so now is a great time for resellers to start talking about the benefits of Chrome solutions.”
